Relationship. Human interaction. Composed of exchanges that magically sums to a connection. Continuously evolving.

Hey all, my first BlueSky chat! I'm Scott, living on occupied Piscataway lands in the DC suburbs. I'm a high school English teacher. My ground is being held firm currently by a small group of colleagues at work and my family and friends at home.

Position. First thought was hierarchical structure of an organization or business. Wish my first thought was more egalitarian like a piece of a puzzle or a contributor of society.

I like all of those. I wonder if there can be such a thing as 'position' without some structure or context to reference.

As a science teacher, "position" makes me think of where things are in relation to other things, and then how how those things will interact with each other based on their situation, energy, movement.

"Relationship" implies the two-way interactions between people/things. They both affect and are affected by the other.

I think of the words "over" and "under"...more position/relationship words!

I also think of forces: waves, wind, time.

Makes me feel more hopeful when I expand the definition away from human-centered ideas

Hmm, I think of a place in space, but always in relation to other places. There is no position that exists without reference to something else. I think about my position--professionally, socially, geographically, politically.

"Problem" in science is more closely related to a question or thing to investigate/solve. It doesn't always have the negative connotation. This makes me wonder what needs to be looked at rather than something to groan about. Also, declaring there is a problem doesn't fix it.

These particular words today combine in a conception of #PlaceValue that I have been contemplating for several years.

#SecondSundays
#ChatTMB
What do you think of these questions?

1. Where am I (we) positioned?
2. Who am I (are we) related to?
3. How do I (we) express power?
A slide - offering #PlaceValue as a Mathaphor signifying the overlap of mathematical and civic analysis. There are three questions to ask: Where am I (we) positioned? Who am I (are we) related to? How do I (we) express power? #SecondSundays #ChatTMB

It’s Monday, but it’s also #SecondSundays

I’m Jenna. I am so grateful for my family right now — my husband and kids and also my father and brothers, etc. It was so healing to spend time with them over to December break. Things felt smooth even through some chaos and hospital visits.

Like, two people can be in relationship and move "forward" together, or can be working in opposite directions.

It's still a relationship even if it's not mutually beneficial.
